Free contributions validation on PrestaStore
We are doing as fast as possible to provide you, as promised, the free contributions on PrestaStore. The implementation of this feature being from now on achieved, the final tests have begun. If these tests do not involve additional developments, this should be online very soon. Thank you for your patience!
This is however important to keep in mind that this PrestaStore's section will not be managed in totality by the PrestaShop team but also by the community itself, and your help will be essential to the free contributions durability on this platform. So we encourage you to join on the forum the members who already offered to put their skills to the service of the community!

This week again, many corrections have been made on the SVN version of PrestaShop:
- Fixed price calculations (taxes...) on the Front Office, Back Office and PDF Invoices
- Added the extension of files attached to product data sheets
- Fixed the method getStaticPrice (): now calculates the reductions only if necessary
- Fixed translations on the Front and Back Office as well as the module “mailalerts”
- Fixed EAN13 codes verification on products, which now allows only numeric characters as recommended by EAN13 standard
- Ability to disable automatic checking of modules updates
- Optimization of MySQL performance with the addition of indexes and some SQL queries on the Front Office and some modules
- Optimization of Smarty, added a new parameter in the file Smarty.conf.inc.php

Visit the PrestaShop ShowcaseOn PrestaStore… Referencing modules
Online shoppers often use search engines to find the product they need. So the importance of referencing e-commerce websites is crucial, and we must not forget the different kinds of it.
In 2008, the proportion between organic SEO and commercial one is only 20% for the first, against 80% for the second. When we think about user behavior on a search engine, is this ratio really suitable? You decide!
PrestaShop was designed to be well referenced by the main engines, but a good technique does not replace good content. Therefore, PrestaStore offers modules that facilitate the filling of Meta data and display what the engines really want to see!
Hot Trends
This module adds a page to your site that indexes the searched words in your store search engine. Then, you can reference your website about what your customers seek!
SEO
This module allows you to fill automatically elements from your product files, based on predefined criteria fully configurable and important for referencing. Thus, whatever the quantity of products you offer, all fields will be filled in the best way.
This newsletter is primarily yours.
Please send us any comments or suggestions you may have, writing to newsletter@prestashop.com.
See you next week!
